30) So much room for activities: Our studios and warehouse could house a fleet of small airplanes if needed. They are that big. Plus, our satellite uplink trucks give our engineers plenty of space to operate.

29) Twitter engagement is encouraged: Current events are the lifeblood of Kaufman Broadcast. Whether we have guests covering politics, sports or entertainment, having a finger on the pulse of popular events is a must. This means we are constantly tracking stories as the unfold on Twitter or other social media, making sure to stay at the forefront of news.

28) We’ve got green thumbs: We recycle. Recycling is good. You should too.

27) Know news before it breaks: Want to know what topics are in store for your favorite news program tonight? We have that insight. When networks book guests in St. Louis or Kansas City, we have the opportunity to pick their minds and get the inside scoop on topics they’ll be discussing on air.

Saint Louis University law professor Susan McGraugh discusses the Michael Brown grand jury proceedings on The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell in December, 2014.

26) Doughnuts. Doughnuts everywhere: Bill regularly brings in doughnuts as a bi-weekly piece of cheer. So if you fancy a Boston cream or a jelly-filled fritter, there’s a doughnut with your name on it here.

25) Fiber is a regular part of our diet: Fiber is an essential part of any broadcast diet. That’s why Kaufman Broadcast has fiber networks sprawled across St. Louis and Kansas City. Whether it’s Busch Stadium or Sprint, you can rest assure transmissions from any corner of the state will go smoothly.

24) Creativity never goes out of style: Creativity is needed for everything from our Twitter page to our engineering solutions, so outside the box thinking is always welcome. Kaufman Broadcast prides itself on being a pioneer in the industry; a reputation that comes grounded in ingenuity.

23) Tons of Christmas presents in food form: We work with some great partners and some even better gift-givers. In 2014, we received a small mountain of popcorn and enough bricks of chocolate to build a small house. Yes, it was as delicious as it sounds.

22) The Arch is our backdrop: Kaufman Broadcast headquarters are three miles away from the Gateway Arch so every ride to work includes a look at its timeless beauty. When you get lunch, there’s the Arch. Go to a meeting, there’s the Arch. Leave work, there’s the Arch. It never gets old. Plus, the office in Kansas City gets to glimpse Penn Valley Park every day.

The Gateway Arch plays the backdrop for a friendly match between Manchester City and Chelsea at Busch Stadium in June, 2013.

21) Look good, feel good: Company pride is always high at Kaufman Broadcast and that’s reflected in our gear. There are jackets, hats, cups, cards, trucks and more, all sporting the Kaufman Broadcast logo. Hopefully you look good in blue, green or orange.
